*** ku p. 12 par. 18 From Kurukshetra to Armageddon-and Your Survival ***
Since the "last days" are here upon our 20th century, you may well ask, When did they begin? Moreover, for how long will the "last days" continue? How does one know Armageddon will be fought within our own lifetime, so that one can survive, if worthy?
*** w57 10/15 p. 624 "Who Is Wise and Understanding Among You?" ***
Today there is an urgency to preach greater than ever before. Within the lifetime of the present generation the war of the great day of God the Almighty will be fought. (Rev. 16:14, 16) The foretold conditions prior to Armageddon have come to pass.
*** w80 12/1 p. 5 Warnings That Should Be Heeded ***
"The war of the great day of God the Almighty," commonly called Armageddon, is sure to come. (Rev. 16:14-16) It will be the final part of the "great tribulation." So does it not make sense, at least, to give consideration to the warnings that Armageddon is near, within the lifetime of most persons now living?
*** w86 7/1 pp. 19-20 par. 8 Living for God's Will-Today and Forever ***
This system of things is into its 72nd year since the crucial date of 1914. Satan's world has lasted longer than many expected. In fact, some faithful Christians who expected to see Armageddon and the beginning of the new system of things in their lifetime have died.
*** UPDATED FOR 2012 PUBLICATION Living for God's Will-Today and Forever ***
This system of things is into its 72nd 98th year since the crucial date of 1914. Satan's world has lasted longer than many any of us expected. In fact, some all faithful Christians who originally expected to see Armageddon and the beginning of the new system of things in their lifetime have died.
What about a prophesy "Millions Now Living Will Never Die". That was made sometime in the early 1920s. Let that run another 20 years, and it will become false. Once fewer than 2 million (the minimum for "millions" is 2 million) alive at the release of that book are still around, it becomes rubbish. Or, I could be stricter and peg it as when it was written down, meaning it will go bad even sooner.
Now, unlike OBVES predicting the end was coming during 2011, I cannot predict when this prediction will go bad. But, I predict it will.
please keep searching for it peoples

don't think it will be found. certainly not with their search engine. I tried, nothing.
I'm sure the GB views it the opposite way.
As long as one reader of the book remains alive, the prophecy might still come true.
Besides, the book will be "old light" in no time...
The WTS has conditioned JW to view (even a few years ago ) as old light the statements made. I believe that this has been pushed to allow the new breed GB to say and do as they please and if you dont agree then your not keeping up with Jehovah(WTS).

JEHOVAH’S “SWORD” AGAINST “ALL THOSE OF FLESH”
9 Shortly, within our twentieth century, the “battle in the day of Jehovah” will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom. The ancient “soil of Israel” pictures the realm in which Christendom has operated. It pictures the standing and relationship that Christendom has claimed to occupy with God by means of his “new covenant” of which Jesus Christ is the mediator. Now is no time for anyone in Christendom to rely on any righteousness on the basis of his own merits and to boast of his own self-righteousness. Jehovah’s “sword” of warfare will cut off from this position that Christendom’s clergy claim for her all religionists who depend upon her having an acceptable standing with God
Good catch, wallsofjericho.
When Jesus didn't show up as predicted, the WTS concluded that he returned invisibly.
Now that the 20th century has come and gone, I wonder how long it will be before they conclude that Armageddon came invisibly too.
I want the person who came up with the campaign slogan "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" to be held accountable for promoting a falsehood!
But they have already died!
Perfect example of someone not knowing what they talked about!
